Hotel Metropole was very clean, staff helpful. We came in before check in time and our room was ready. Spacious, light and bright. A continental breakfast is served daily and it is well done! Walking distance to all restaurants and attractions. Definitely would stay again!

I have stayed at he Metropole many, man6 times over the last 30 years. Its a family traditon in our family. The rooms are always spotlessly clean and nicely appointed with large flatscreen TVs , etc. The thing that may standout the most about the Metropole is the very real and friendly staff. These are not some kind of corporate... More

My husband surprised me this weekend by taking me to Catalina Island. He booked a romantic getaway for the two of us and booked us a great room at the Hotel Metropole. We arrived before their guaranteed check in time and the friendly front desk girl said our room was ready and checked us in. Upon entering the room we... More

This will be our 2nd time staying at the Hotel Metropole in July. It is a fantastic hotel! Accommodations are amazing and everything you'd except in a hotel. Very clean, bed is incredibly, room has enough room to spread out, and very family friendly! Staff are extremely helpful, they offer suggestions on things to do, let you know what's happening...

Booked the trip on a whim. Just got back yesterday. Hotel Metropole is the spot to stay. Great room, everything was new and up to date. Roof top jacuzzi over looking the water was a plus! Everybody was really nice. We didn't ask for much but when we did the staff was on it. My boyfriend went fishing I got... More

I wish there was a rating worse than Terrible for this dishonest, insulting, and non accomodating hotel. After reading other reviews on here where the hotel manager "catalinagregg" responds to reviews insinuating that the guests were not being completely truthful I have attached pictures so caatalinagregg and everyone else who reads this review will know who is telling the truth...

My family of 6 stayed at the hotel for 4 days. Not only was I impressed with the view and the staff, but I found this hotel to be clean and child friendly. This hotel is in the center of everything! We are already planning our next trip to Catalina, and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Thx Hotel Metropole... More

Hotel Metropole is the place to stay when visiting Avalon! From the time you step into the lobby, you are treated like family. I have stayed here many times, and have loved every room I was in. If you want to treat yourself, book the Beach House or a suite! In the morning, try a scone with the other organic... More

Not only was the staff friendly curteous and helpful, the location puts you right in the heart of Avalon...walking distance to everything. Massage right downstairs and the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean was a really nice treat!
